chpt 3 great gatsby

in this  chapter nick is invited to a party, the part i thought was interesting is when Gatsbys assistant guy is thee one who brings Nick his invite to the party as apposed to Gatsby doing it himself. Nick goes to this party and it kind of gives you a look into Gatsbys luxury life. People notice his Rols Royce and swimming pool. We also see that Gatsby has a habit of calling everyone "old sport".   Throughout the party i also noticed that Gatsby sits on his marble steps and watches the party as apposed to being apart of his own party. I thought this was interesting, this made me think that maybe Gatsby has some sort of fascination with impressing people and maybe caring about everyone being happy before he is.

Chpt2 of The Great Gatsby

i'm honestly very confused. i don't quiet understand whats going on. There is a party in Fitzgerald house and he builds up some greatness behind Gatsby. We also meet nick. Im not really sure everyone's roles.

chpt. 24 and epilogue COLOR OF WATER

Chpt. 24- when i read the title of "New Brown" i was very curious what this was going to mean. when i first read it i thought that it possible meant that african americans were new people, and that the brown color of their skin was transformed.

Chpt. 25- Finding ruthie, james is happy and commited with all of his music and school. I think it was really cool how james and all of his siblings still go back to their mothers house for holidays, i can relate.

Epilouge. james co worker invites james and ruth, to a jewish wedding.

CHapter 21-23 COLOR OF WATER

chpt. 21- In this chapter we see a little glimps into Ruths past life, about when she learned of deaths and when she lost contact with her sister DeeDee. I was confused in this chapter as to why DeeDee left instead of sticking around.

Chpt 22- A JEw DISCOVERED, was the name of this title. When i thought about it for the first time i related back to Anne Frank. But i figured it wassnt much like it, but possibly somewhat related.

Chpt 23- Dennis, in this chapter i found out that Ruth was interested in african american men. Because she went after Dennis as well as Peter. I also saw that her being a white woman with black men hassnt been good for her the whole way through. when ruth and dennis go to Harlem they were also harrased as an interacial couple.

3 takeaways from chapters 21-23 of color of water.

i thought the titles of all 3 of these chapters were very interesting.

I was alittle confused on who DEE DEE was, who is Dee Dee?

I also saw how Ruth had alittle troubles with being jewish
